Nothing, a new technology company, has been creating quite a buzz about its first product: a pair of headphones that promise to be transparent and conceptual. The Nothing Ear 1 headphones have already been leaked images and now a photo of its case has emerged, which follows the same transparent line proposed by the manufacturer, which makes perfect sense.

So, here is the image of the Case of the upcoming Ear-1 (showing the positioning of the earphones). I guess, the white layer will hide the circuit and the battery of the case, as contact points to earphones are also coming from that white part only.#NothingEar1 pic.twitter.com/KUJloIUFec— Ayush (@iayush_ayush) July 15, 2021
The person who leaked the image of Nothing's transparent case was user Ayush Verma on his Twitter profile, but it is worth mentioning that Nothing itself posted a cropped image of it. The photo reveals a completely transparent square case. The earphone sockets are polarized, the first in the lower left corner and the other in the upper right corner. The hinge to open the case lid is placed further to the left, giving it a more asymmetrical look.
And the spaces where the headphones are fitted have a detail. There are two circles, one black and one red. These are the company's colors and the circles should indicate which headphone will be on the right and which will be on the left. However, it is speculated that this is not a purely aesthetic detail. They could be the microphones capable of capturing external sound and providing the product's active noise cancellation (ANC).
A very transparent headset
The Chinese manufacturer's “transparency” seems to go beyond Design of the Nothing Ear 1 and its case. This, pardon the pun, because other details of the product have also been seen out there. With the launch scheduled for the day 27 July, headphones have already had their price revealed. The Nothing Ear 1 will be one of the cheapest ANC headphones on the market, costing US$ 99 (almost R$ 506 without taking into account taxes and fees). Just for reference, the headphones AirPods Pro cost R$2.699, while the Galaxy Buds Pro costs R$926.
Another aspect of the Nothing Ear 1 that has already leaked is its battery capacity. The device has been registered with the Indian regulatory authority (BIS) and an image attached to the document revealed that the headset will have a 570 mAh battery. This is the same battery capacity as the Xiaomi Mi FlipBuds.
